Agent at Fort Bragg accused of selling military secrets
2010-12-06
Bryan Minkyu Martin, assigned to the Joint Special Operations Command at Fort Bragg, is accused of accepting money from an undercover FBI agent in exchange for military information, some of which was classified as top secret, according to the warrant.

Authorities applied for a warrant to search Martin's hotel room in Fort Bragg, his vehicle, financial records and electronic equipment, including cell phones and computers.

Authorities said Martin met with an undercover FBI employee, who was posing as an intelligence officer of a foreign country, in a Spring Lake hotel lobby on Nov. 15.

During the meeting, Martin described his access to military computer systems and named classified network systems he had access to, the warrants said. Authorities said Martin told the agent that he was seeking long-term financial reimbursement.
Perhaps he didn't trust that Social Security funds would be there when he was ready to retire.
Wanted to start a supplemental retirement pension, did he ...
The warrant says that Martin accepted $500 from the undercover agent with the promise of additional money in exchange for documents at their next meeting. Over the next four days, Martin met twice more with the FBI agent at different area hotels, trading documents marked "secret" and "top secret" for two payments of $1,500 each.

In November 2006, Martin signed a counterintelligence brief at the Naval Recruiting District Pittsburgh, which stated that if he is ever contacted by a representative of a communist or hostile government, he is required to report the incident to his commanding officer.

The warrants claim Martin did not contact his commanding officer concerning the contact made with the undercover agent.

#3  I used to work at a subunit. If he had JWICS access like that little buddyfucker Manning allegedly had, he could have done some serious damage, and got operators killed or captured as well as blowing the missions.

I wish they would hang these would-be traitors by their nuts, and hand out bats to the units they compromised so their victims could give them the pinata treatment they so deserve.

#2  Back about 1970, a captured NVA propaganda film showed somebody who looked familiar to the guys at Bragg. Turns out his new gig was teaching Vietnamese at the language program there.

#1  Mink Martin meet Julian Assange. Julian Assange meet Mink Martin. Oh... you already know one another. Well here, keep the $500. bucks as a Chinese Christmas gift and small token of our appreciation. I've got another meeting at the Mash House in 30 minutes. See ya's.
